Electrical assembly including a detachable hinge connection and a securing element

Abstract

An electrical assembly is described, including a mounting board having at least one exposed contact area and a mounting board housing, a direct plug element having a housing and at least one direct contact. The direct contact establishes contact with the contact area in the assembled state, a detachable first hinge connection having a hinge member on the mounting board housing and a second hinge member on the housing of the direct plug element. A securing element secures the direct plug element on the mounting board housing.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An electrical assembly, comprising:
 a mounting board having at least one exposed contact area and a mounting board housing; 
 a direct plug element having a housing and at least one direct contact, the direct contact contacting a contact area in an assembled state; 
 a detachable first hinge connection having a hinge member on the mounting board housing and a second hinge member on the housing of the direct plug element; and 
 a securing device securing the direct plug element on the mounting board housing, wherein: 
 the securing device includes a first hook part situated on the mounting board housing, and a second hook part situated on the housing of the direct plug element, 
 the second hook part is situated on the housing of the direct plug element via a second hinge connection, 
 the second hook part is part of a rocker element that includes first and second pressure surfaces, 
 the rocker element pivots via the second hinge connection along a first direction when the first pressure surface is pressed in order to engage the second hook part with the first hook part, and 
 the rocker element pivots via the second hinge connection along a second direction when the second pressure surface is pressed in order to disengage the second hook part from the first hook part. 
 
     
     
       2. The assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first hinge member and the second hinge member of the first hinge connection are each hook-shaped. 
     
     
       3. The assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one direct contact includes direct contacts that are all identical. 
     
     
       4. The assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one exposed contact area includes exposed contact areas and the at least one direct contact includes direct contacts, the exposed contact areas and the direct contacts are arranged in a plurality of rows. 
     
     
       5. The assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the second hinge connection is one of a film hinge and a mechanical hinge. 
     
     
       6. The assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one direct contact includes direct contacts that in a mounted state are situated at an angle to a plane of the mounting board. 
     
     
       7. The assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one direct contact includes direct contacts that have an arched end region. 
     
     
       8. The assembly as recited in  claim 7 , wherein at the arched end region a point contact is provided. 
     
     
       9. A mounting board, comprising:
 at least one exposed contact area; 
 a mounting board housing; 
 a first hinge member situated on the mounting board housing and equipped to provide a detachable hinge connection via a second hinge member; and 
 a first hook part situated on the mounting board housing and able to be brought to engagement with a second hook part of a securing device, the second hook part being situated on a housing of a direct plug element via a second hinge connection, wherein: 
 the second hook part is part of a rocker element that includes first and second pressure surfaces, 
 the rocker element pivots via the second hinge connection along a first direction when the first pressure surface is pressed in order to engage the second hook part with the first hook part, and 
 the rocker element pivots via the second hinge connection along a second direction when the second pressure surface is pressed in order to disengage the second hook part from the first hook part. 
 
     
     
       10. A direct plug element, comprising:
 a housing; 
 at least one direct contact; 
 a second hinge member situated on the housing and developed to provide a detachable hinge connection using first hinge member; 
 a second hook part situated on the housing and able to be brought to engagement with a first hook part of a securing device; and 
 a second hook part situated on the housing via a second hinge connection, wherein: 
 the second hook part is part of a rocker element that includes first and second pressure surfaces, 
 the rocker element pivots via the second hinge connection along a first direction when the first pressure surface is pressed in order to engage the second hook part with the first hook part, and 
 the rocker element pivots via the second hinge connection along a second direction when the second pressure surface is pressed in order to disengage the second hook part from the first hook part.
